WIP Wednesday 1.13.16

My new job definitely keeps me hopping (and not sewing.)  But I did manage to get a few things done this week.

I replaced of my QA's with a BOM.  I had to get rid of the Quilty 365 button and move it to the bottom.  Though it was a fun idea to do a circle a day, a block a day just isn't realistic.  The orphan blocks will find a nice home.  I did sign up for a new BOM.  It's the Play with Me 2016 QA at Alida (TweLoQ) Designs.  Here's my first block (not quite done...)  The checkerboard.  Sorry for the 3am pic... it looks crooked, but it's not.  Come back and see the finished block on Thursday! :)

 

I counted how many spool of thread I used for 2015 -- Seventy-five!!!  What a great year.



I set some 2016 quilting goals.

I made six blocks for the Block Lotto.





I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced today at Wip Wednesday 1/13.  Lee blogs at http://www.freshlypieced.com/
